1950

While you're sitting around trying to figure out what to give the wife for Christmas, take five to scan the latest news of your old Injun cronies. Right off, before noting matrimonial and other activities, we want to state for the benefit of those who categorically throw away our letters, that Tom O'Connell has been elected Class Chairman by your Executive Committee. This means, in effect, that the Secretary will devote his time to matters of recording data for posterity, banging out these columns, and other minor functions, while Tom will direct the overall actions of the Class, appoint persons to fill various posts with the approval of the Execs, and generally see to it that things go smoothly.

Already he has come up with two fine selections to fill the gap left by the retirements of Glen Fitkin and Cul Modisette after five years of outstanding service as Class Agent and Newsletter Editor. Ted Bamberger has bravely "volunteered" to solicit your shekels starting next spring, and you can start by offering your services to him as Assistant Class Agents at 3589 Gridley Road, Cleveland 22. If you aren't quite that anxious to devote many hours of pleasant contact with classmates, maybe you can relate the details of your recent '50 blast to George Duffy at 4216 Lynn Ave., Minneapolis 16. We'll try to limit this column to matters of record and leave Duke the task of publicizing social activities and the Alumni Fund. We're sure you join us in a feeling of thanks to these guys for their work.

THE HITCHING POST.... On September 17, Bob Smith married Nancy Elizabeth Taylor of Short Hills, N. J., where they've taken up residence. Nancy is an alumna of Randolph Macon, and Smitty is with 1.8.M. in New York.

October 22 was the happy date for RalphMuehlig and Carolyn Marie Belle of Danvers, Mass. They're making home in Metuchen, N.J.

WALKING THE LAST MILE.... Announced in September was the engagement of Sam Vitt to Miss Marie Foster Fazin of Flushing, N. Y. She's an actress and has had roles on Broadway and in TV. Sam is with Biow-Beirn-Toigo, Inc., the ad agency in N.Y.C., and also is co-producer of The Bodyin the Seine, an LP record album from which some of the material for the new musical, Pleasure Dome, has been taken.

Dick Healy will wed Marion Van Reipen Sholten, Upper Montclair, N. J., according to the October 8 papers. She graduated from Green Mountain and the Albany Hospital School of Physical Therapy of Russell Sage College.

On October 29 parents of Miss Jill Holdstein announced that she would marry KenEdelson in New York come January. Jill went to Bradford J.C.

INFANT 1NF0... . The Fred Gambles increased the population of Minneapolis last February 11 when daughter Elizabeth bowed in. Fred reports other Minne-gophers BillFrenzel, Dixie Vaughan, and Arnie Oss all appear hale and hearty.

Last May 22 Peg and Dick Johnson welcomed Richard Curtis Jr. into the fold. Young Dick has a sister Sally Sterne going on 3 now.

Indian war whoops fer yez all!

INKADENTAL INTELLIGENTZ. ... Additional news from Minneapolis reveals that Curt Dunnavan has returned to those environs, and Ken Rothchild, along with Nina and K. V. II, is engaged in the real estate and mortgage biz in St. Paul. Jack Brodie has been sent to the territory, also, kindness of General Electric, and along with some of those already mentioned reports that Clarke Bassett attends Dartmouth luncheons there.

Not much doing with Uncle these days, but many moons ago Gerry Sarno checked in from Puerto Rico, where he is public works officer and treating Ginny and daughter Ann Elisa to the Carribean sunshine. We just learned that Hank Meijer, complete with M.D., is at George AFB, Calif, hospital. Although not in the service, Cal Minor is also in San Juan. He is with the Texas Co. and saw Bob Funkhouser with spouse Peggy two years ago. Cal and Cynthia had a daughter in October '54.

Another item more appropriate to the cradle column indicates that Rog Mathes (a) married Nancy Hess of Chappaqua, N. Y., (b) works for Shanahan & Shanahan and lives in Manchester, N. H., (c) passed his CPA exams, and (d) has two sons, Stephen, 3, and David, 2. Otherwise, he's not doing much.

Miles Mills was in Chicago last spring with the Oil and Heating Institute of America ... "Uncle Will" Wallace is getting some more book l'arning at Wharton ... Jim Melville is doing a lot of selling for Pure Carbonic Co. in Baltimore ... Bill Sullivan was a candidate for the school committee in Worcester this fall. Bill's dad and his wife, the former Elizabeth Collins, both were pedagogs, so he's got some good firsthand sources for such a job. Business-wise, he hangs his hat at Frederick L. O'Brien Insurance Co.

Around the Ivy circuit, Hank Barnes, GeneHotchkiss, and Dave Davis are all in the Cornell camp. Gene's striking for a degree in education, and Dave's a history prof.... At the Brown game we saw Walt Fisher sporting a green-and-white jacket and large Stetson, Larry and Eleanor Batty, Sandy McCulloch,Fizz Nichols, and Nutmeggers Sher and AnitaMarchant. ... In New Haven we encountered Nev and Vally Chamberlain looking for real estate prospects for Hingham, Mass., Bill andJudy Cross, Dick Echikson, Beverly and RabReier who's gone into the metal box business, Jim Nye, Walt and Rose Mary Lindenthal, Edand Marlene Tuck, Gene Ulrich, Jack Harned, and Brooks Barvoets.

Gotta leave room for all your names and say thanks for your contributions to the Alumni Fund. See what you can do about sending along your dues to Si Mor and in Wilmette, huh?

Yuletide Greetings!
